There is no way Presidentish Joe Biden will drop out of the race, and I'm here to tell you today why he might.
Wait, what?
As regular viewers of Five O'Clock Somewhere* know, my friend and colleague Stephen Kruiser and I must have spent 18 months, maybe two years, disabusing people of any wild notion that Biden would pull an LBJ and drop out of the race or be somehow forced out by party insiders.
But recent news items have forced me to admit that the impossible is now merely highly unlikely.
For your consideration:
Ace of Spades: The Torricelli Option Is On the Table: Leftwing Bloomberg Begins Polling Trump v. Kamala Harris, Anticipating a Biden Departure. "Obviously, Trump thumps Kumala [sic]. But why even ask? What are they hearing?"
Hillsdale's Henry Olsen: Biden is denying reality – he’s losing this election. "If Trump holds his own [in the June 27 presidential debate], Biden’s low favorability suggests even a credible Biden performance won’t right the ship. If the polls still look this bad in early August, after a big debate and tens of millions more in spending, Biden must make a big decision."
PJ Media's Matt Margolis: WHOA! Trump Might Be Right About New York. "According to the latest Siena College poll, Biden still leads Trump in the Empire State, but his lead has dropped to single digits."
George Mason's Jeremy Mayer: How can Biden save America from Trump's return to the White House? Drop out of the race. "Biden has had, by most standard measures, a pretty successful presidency. But he’s being blamed for high inflation, the U.S. troops withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. "

The one thing we have going for us is Biden is obstinate and thankfully will be their nominee. Secondly, elder abuser Jill wants to continue to enjoy being treated royally and lavishly spending taxpayer money.
I see the Kamala problem has to be addressed first. The Dems got rid of Agnew before going after Nixon. They would have tolerated Nixon if Agnew would have taken over.
they’ll drop the old coot and prop up Big Mike 0bama
Exactly. His fiefdom would collapse.
I don’t think Jill would let him.
Democrats are not stupid, their championing of every evil devised by man or the devil notwithstanding. They will stop at nothing. Biden knows this if he doesn’t know anything else. They’re not going to let a millstone like Biden get in their way.
It’s spreading

If Biden is still struggling in August he needs to consider stepping aside.
It’s not a great situation for Ds either way, but you have to do due diligence on the question. It’s an important election, obviously. It shouldn’t be taboo to talk about.

Its probably easier for Democrats and their deep-state masters to have Trump assassinated.
Yes, its messy and totally obvious, but they are betting they can get controlled RINOs to form a “united front” with Democrats against chaos and in favor of whatever the propaganda narrative is, and stabilize things within a few months.
Biden can’t drop out because he is supporting 3 generations of bidens, democrats will have to buy him out
Biden polls better than ANY other possible Democrat, which is why he WONT bow out
Please tell me this is from the Babylon Bee. So many of our troubles under Biden were intentionally inflicted by Biden. The border was under control, but Biden threw out Trump's executive orders and the wall being built. We were pumping oil like crazy, but Biden started freezing production. The Treasury and the Federal reserve fired up the money machine in a copy of Zimbawenomics. And that's only the surface.
The worst thing that happened to Trump was the worldwide release of the WuFlu. Unfortunately we helped pay for the gain of function research, but it primarily spread when China locked down domestic travel but allowed international travel. And Trump was criticized by the left when Trump dared to mention its origin.
I’m scared that DeWiners little scheme will in fact create the mechanism the dims will use to replace Obiden.
This is why I believe the Deep State solution is not to dump Biden, but somehow get rid of Trump. For now, all their hopes are in the NY trial, and later in the Washington DC trial. If he gets out of both of those, it's going to get really interesting.
He needs to pardon Hunter first......if he drops out or is replaced
Ohio will have to have a special session and vote to put Biden on the ballot. Once he's on the ballot, what comes after will be very interesting.
If he's replaced after Ohio places him on the ballot, Ohio likely won't be changing it again for a replacement (never discount a RINO's ability to screw it up). I don't think they would let the replacement absorb the votes for Biden.
My advice to President Trump: Sometime in that CNN debate you will get hot and thirsty under those CNN lights and look at that cold and frosty cup on the corner of that CNN lectern.
DON’T DRINK THE WATER!
You are correct. In fact if Trump is not convicted in NY and hunter is on the gun charge, I believe he pardons him for that and the tax stuff and then leaves citing health. That opens up the convention for one of the womyn. Hitlery? Big Mike?
The Biden inside coup.
I suspect Biden is making himself look really old, so that his young replacement (Newsom) will look good. Then, the Dems will really focus on Trump’s age.
Joe isn’t dropping out and if forced out will take the whole operation down with him, Obie included. The Dems have painted themselves into a corner with him. It’s only going to get nastier and nastier with them…
